    Casey Jr. Being "Reassessed"

    I don't know how long ago this started, but they now have a CM monitoring the fence to keep kids out. You can see her on the right of this photo: Untitled by Brian_WDW74, on Flickr Here's a closer shot: Untitled by Brian_WDW74, on Flickr

    Test track to become cars?

    Right. In "The Art of Cars" it's stated that Pixar used Susie the Little Blue Coupe as a design inspiration, which makes sense given its Disney association. Since vehicles don't have eyes, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to portray them. You can put them either in the windshields like...

    Tom Sawyer's Island replacement / Expansion

    The Liberty Belle is currently in dry dock at Central Shops for refurbishment and is scheduled to return to service on May 21. It does seem odd that it would undergo a month-long refurb only to be permanently dry-docked in the near future. But TDO has done stranger things in the past...

    Starbucks coming to Disney parks

    Right. I really feel terrible for those early Disneyland visitors who were forced to endure such non-Disney restaurants as: Aunt Jemima Pancake House Carnation Ice Cream Parlor Casa de Fritos Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship and Restaurant Coca Cola Refreshment Corner Maxwell House...

    Rich Ross Resigns

    I honestly don't see how anyone could be successful in the role nowadays. With Iger's strategy of releasing fewer movies each year and relying more on tentpole/franchise pictures, there's just too much pressure on each individual film to be a huge hit. There's a great quote from Walt where he...

    Any Updates on Test Track Redo?

    Perhaps even longer. Take that "September 30" end date posted on disneyworld.com with a HUGE grain of salt.

    Any Updates on Test Track Redo?

    Orlando Attractions Magazine has posted two videos of the "Test Track All Stars" a capella group. Their song list appears to be all car-related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY5AjWmw8Z8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jfxDYKfcpc

    Circus Tents

    If you look at the Storybook Circus poster art, you'll see that most of the characters shown in it are tied to already-announced structures. Except for one. The image of Humphrey eating a candy apple seems to indicate that there will be some kind of food location themed to him.

    Sounds Like Summer - Schedule almost complete

    For other concert series (Flower Power, Eat to the Beat), they do book the original artists. But not for the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series. It debuted in 2006 with all cover bands and has continued using them every year since.

    In this case it's at WDW, but the name of Main Street USA is the same at both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. :)

    Screamscape - Monorail Expansion Rumor

    Just a little out-loud thinking here... Now that WDW has tried the Tronorail and Avengerail, is there a chance they might be considering accepting advertising dollars as a way to offset the cost of expanding and maintaining the monorail system?
